Xenograg kathu-Darelir

Xenograg is 5' 10" tall and weighs 185 pounds. He has black hair (including beard), brown eyes, sun-darkened skin, broad shoulders and large hands. Although in his mid-forties he is still in excellent physical shape.

Xenograg's homeland is the Empire of Demodar (dimension of Panadus). His countrymen are born horsemen and warriors. Personal combat prowess (armed and unarmed) is held in the highest regard within the Empire. Xenograg grew up such, but his present vocation is sorcery. He still finds it necessary to carry a sword -- in fact he trusts it more than his spells. He is naturally adept, but lacks mastery of all magical disciplines.

The prefix "thu-" before a surname denotes hereditary nobility. Xenograg's prefix is "kathu-" because he is the head of clan-house Darelir. The Darelir were practically exterminated in a civil war several years ago. Thus Xenograg heads a very small, but honorable, house. Xenograg is also the founder and master of a small monastery of fighting monks, where the remaining Darelir took refuge for a time.
